WLA-SCS:2024 Standard Webinar
10 & 11 March 2025, 15:00–17:00 CET
A WLA Online Event
Supported by ALA & CIBELAE
We are pleased to announce that the updated version of the WLA SCS:2024 standard was ratified by the WLA General Assembly, which was held on 24th October at the WLS 2024 in Paris.
The WLA Security Control Standard 2020 introduced new concepts – notably the S Section for gaming system supplier and operator controls, and a section for cloud security controls. Over the past four years, these controls have proved challenging for members, raising many questions and requiring diverse action plans. Bearing this in mind and given the above-mentioned security challenges faced by members since the publishing of WLA SCS:2020, with the updated WLA SCS:2024 version users can expect clearer guidance on how to deal with the security of suppliers, and managed services, be it in hosted data centres, or in the cloud.
We have also reorganized some controls, to simplify the standard. For example, some controls have been moved to the general section, since they are applicable to all game offerings. Other general security controls that are already detailed in ISO/IEC 27001, Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection – Information security management systems –Requirements, have also been simplified. Importantly, a section has been created for Random Number Generators, since they are at the heart of all lottery game operations, as well the addition of a new control for online games, which covers virtual betting and modifications to the terminology.
The structure is as follows:
- Annex A (G Controls): Organizational controls
- Annex B (L Controls): Controls for the operation of games
- Annex C (S Controls): Controls for the development of gaming systems and the provision of games
- Annex D (M Controls): Controls for Multi-jurisdictional games.
We invite you to discover more about the updated standards version on the WLA webinar.
The webinar will be held in English. Simultaneous translation into Spanish and Portuguese will be made available by CIBELAE (www.cibelae.net) and French by ALA (www.africanlotteries.com)
Please note that the event is free of charge and open to WLA, ALA, CIBELAE Members and WLA-SCS auditors only.
